This popular 'Scout 800' ultra-fast kettle has a smaller water capacity than our regular 'Scout' model, but with a faster boil time. It requires just a handful of sticks to boil within minutes. Ideal for 1-2 People when Camping, Trekking, Scouting, Fishing or in an emergency for when the power goes out after a storm!

Add our popular Hobo Stove to turn the Fire Base into a self-container wood stove for cooking, breakfast, lunch or dinner. The fire is safely contained and you can you any size pot or pan on the Hobo.

This is a great size if you only need a small amount of water (fast) at a time, but still would like the better cooking functionality that the larger fire base and large Hobo Stove (not included) provide.

A popular Green Whistlehas replaced the Orange stopper on this Kettle and will let you know when the water has boiled. Steel Kettles have an all welded construction and no rivets. Strong, durable and fast - boils up to 800ml of water in ALL weather conditions.

The Kelly Kettle is a superb piece of camping equipment that even works in storm conditions bringing water to the boil within a matter of minutes using whatever solid fuel is naturally occuring in the area - sticks, grass, pine cones, birch bark etc. No need to carry fuel. No running costs. Users have described these kettles as the 'Greatest invention of all time'. Cost-free, carbon-neutral, eco friendly camping at its very best!

Note: Add our Large Hobo Stove, Cook Set & Cup Set to enable full cooking functionality on the base of the kettle. All these items pack neatly inside the base of the kettle for storage. Please see Accessories category for these products.

Fire Base & Drawstring carrying bag are included as standard with each kettle.

Please note: Per our instruction leaflets, the Kettle is not designed to be a water carrier. It has been designed to boil water extremely fast in all weather conditions using very little fuel. When filled with water, the Stainless Steel Kettles should always be carried upright to avoid any spillage/leakage from the water spout or chimney top.

Simply perfect

I bought my first Kelly Kettle form Padrig after fishing with him on Lough Conn in the 90s. I still have it and it is going strong. It’s made many a brew and thawed out my frozen wading boots when winter fishing. A fly fishing icon from the Emerald Isle.

I bought a newer stainless steel version more compact for fishing and bush trips. A bit more robust and compact. All as good as the original version with the addition of a whistle and stove top. Thoroughly recommended just fill from a river or lake gather some kindling and you have a brew. No need for gas or meths again...Review by Scranney(Posted on 14/01/2020)

Can't believe I got to this age in my life without a Kelly Kettle

Rate this product?

Got it last week, took only two days to come and just tried it out, lit it up and went to get my phone to time how long it took and when I went back to it, it was whistling, unbelievable, less than 3 minutes and all with couple sticks. Absolutely love it. Love it !Review by Gallybander(Posted on 01/10/2019)

Excellent!

I already knew how good the kelly kettle was after seeing other people's. Couldn't believe how effective the Hobo stove is though! Just cooked up some sausages perfectly! Review by Carlos(Posted on 23/02/2018)

I own one of each model

Rate this product?

This model is the fastest boiling and most forgiving of fuels. Absolutely the easiest to use. Yes, I admit I own one or more of each model. I justify this by being a Back Country Guide in Wyoming U.S.A.
Thanks Patrick another excellent product.Review by Tom Rose(Posted on 22/05/2017)

FASTER THAN AN ELECTRIC KETTLE!

FASTER THAN AN ELECTRIC KETTLE!
I tried out my new Kelly Kettle yesterday and really was amazed. Flames came out of the chimney after 5 seconds, and within less than 2 minutes, I had boiling water for more than 3 cups of tea. And this only with a handful of pine cones and some dry grass. Awesome!

Fast ? Too Fast ?

Rate this product?

Great ! The worst the weather, the better it is ! It is indeed ultra fast : the pot holder with a Sierra cup -with a lid on- did not keep up as the water in the water in the Kettle was already boiling. It is as fast if not faster than some electric boilers. Tried all kinds of fuel except my buddy's old smelly shirt : his wife washed it, folded it and put a farewell note on it. In a couple of weeks, it should be ripe enough to try out as fuel. Near a tannery or something where the population and wild animals will not notice. It should not affect the coffee poured up wind.Review by Crazy Joe, Switzerland(Posted on 18/04/2016)

Really fast and hard to run out of fuel!.

Rate this product?

After years of thinking about a Kelly kettle (and making use of my friends kettles) I finally bought the scout 800 ultra fast. What a great piece of kit which does exactly what it says on the lid -boils water ultra fast!. As a canoeist, I bought it for boiling water on trips and it is ideally suited for this task. Yep its not as small as a gas stove but it doesn't run out of fuel and is simple to use and clean!. What more do you want from a kettle other than hot water fast.Review by Ade(Posted on 06/01/2016)

2 days after i ordered the scout 800 rolled up at the doorstep. its the stainless model as i thought it may be a little more durable. the proportions are good with the wide base but the reduced height against the standard scout. very chunky and stable.
had to try it and with a bit of dry grass and paper as tinder followed by dry twigs and a few bits of wood as promised this boiled very quickly. emptied out and filled up again and boiled even quicker as the fire was set.
cracking bit of kit. using sappy wood caused quite a layering of grime on the inside of the chimney but easily cleaned off.
this will definitely see a lot of use. my only regret is that i didn't order the hobo stove at the same time.
an excuse to place another order i think.Review by rob(Posted on 08/07/2015)
